The US Open champion and new world’s number one Carlos Alcaraz and New York doubles champion Marcel Granollers will not be playing for Spain in the Davis Cup. Carlos Alcaraz won the final against Jannik Sinner, while Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos won the men’s doubles after defeating the Britons Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski.
Spain will play a playoff against Denmark with Holger Rune on September 13 and 14 in Marbella, with the winner of that match qualifying for the final in Bologna.
Carlos Alcaraz wants to rest after an intense summer. From the Spanish team also dropped Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
Marcel Granollers has a right leg injury and will have to rest for a few days. In this situation, Spain captain David Ferrer has selected Jaume Munar, Pedro Martinez, Roberto Carballes Baena and Pablo Carreno Busta in the team, who will play singles and doubles.
